I am forced to develop a small application in VS 2003 Standard, in C#. As I understand it, Professional edition has an inbuilt template for Windows Services. It is still possible to build a windows service application in standard correct? Using the System.ServiceBase class?

I have NO idea where to begin with converting my application to a service. Can someone outline the basics for me? I'm having a hard time finding the information on Google since EVERYONE apparently uses the professional edition. I'm the only person on the planet using standard heh...
